What if the most important stories in your life are the ones you’re almost too late to tell? In this Pecha Kucha talk, I share how the timing of my life — the plans that didn’t happen, the prayers I didn’t expect to answer the way they did, the move I didn’t want to make — led me to something far more meaningful: capturing my grandmother’s story before it was too late. From growing up in the “microwaveable” era of quick expectations… To being single when I thought I’d be married… To moving into my grandmother’s basement while pregnant and sick… Every twist in timing shaped the way I see legacy. What started as a simple interview with my 90-year-old grandmother became a film that honored her life in front of everyone she loved — just months before she passed away. That experience changed me forever and reshaped how I approach storytelling today.

This talk is about:

• The illusion that life should move on our schedule

• Why we delay telling the stories that matter

• The regret of waiting too long

• And how you can begin capturing a legacy story — today You don’t need fancy equipment. You don’t need the “perfect” moment.

You just need to start. Because when it comes to legacy storytelling, the best time is now.
